< - Ken Kremer team's 1st round
pick pick, 8th overall, Sam Dekker saved the Badgers in their Elite 8
win over Arizona, has kept Wisconsin alive in the tournament.
He is the 2nd leading scorer in the tournament with 87 points for a 21.8
average.

FINAL 4 GAMES ON
SATURDAY APRIL 4TH

# 7 Michigan State Spartans vs # 1 Duke
Blue Devils

# 1 Kentucky Wildcats vs # 1 Wisconsin Badgers

What a great weekend of
basketball, some of the better games witnessed in some time. Three # 1
seeded teams remain in the tournament. It could possibly be an all
Big 10 Final on Monday. The biggest margin of victory in the Elite 8 was
Duke's 14 point victory of Gonzaga. We will have a rematch of last
year's Final Four game between Wisconsin and Kentucky in the second game
on Saturday night.

Our game:

This year, after 4 games
played, Team Noffke's train is still steaming down the tracks going full
throttle. They've widened their lead over 2nd place Team Trevino
to a figure that is now 173 points ahead. Team
Noffke still has 4 players remaining in the tournament and they're all
good. The forecast for after the Final 4 games on Saturday, I have them
with a 206 point lead over 2nd place Team Trevino....WOW.

Team Noffke recap because
it needs to be outlined:

Ok Mark, Steve & Bruce, we
really need to find out what crystal ball you guys are using. Not
only did you guys draft 3 players from a # 11 seeded team UCLA (who many
said should not have made the tournament but did, and then proceeded to
make the sweet 16, thanks to a questionable goal tending call) but you
got 131 points from these guys a plus 22 over their
regular average. How did you know that? This UCLA team is
the same team that scored 7 points in the first half against
Kentucky, 7! Or how about drafting 2 players from
Louisville who did get a 4 seed despite losing their star point guard
the last week in February due to a rape charge, and dropping 2 of their
last 3 games before the tournament. Louisville also made the Sweet
16 and the Noffke draft picks for Louisville scored 134 points
for them a plus 23 from their regular season average!
Finally, there's Michigan State and yes you can possibly see the common
thread here, Noffke team drafted the top 2 scorers on # 7 seeded team
Michigan State (still going) and they've provided 132 points
toward their total, another plus 15 from their regular season
average. Just those 7 picks totalling 397 points, + 60 over
their regular season average. SID would only have a 126 point lead
using their 28 picks to your 7. We need to see the crystal ball
folks!

The fight for 2nd and 3rd
place, it really depends on how your draft pick plays and who wins on
Saturday, these should be 2 really good games. Right now, using
regular season average, I have Team Trevino ahead of Bob Glinke for 2nd
place by 7 points after Saturday night.

One draft teams does not have
a player left in the tournament this year. For the second year in
a row, headed to the Final 4, the team of Dennis Hammer and Dominick
Schmit, do not have a draft pick left in the tournament.
Actually Dominick you weren't around last year for the draft so we have
to cut you a break!

This year, the Matt Krautstrunk & Jeremiah
Royer team is in the
lead for this payout with a cumulative <96>
points through 4 games played. I believe this will probably hold
up for the payout. They have 4 draft picks with double digit negative scoring for the tournament.
Right behind is the Commissioner who has 7 draft picks with
double digit negative points scored. The Commish is at <98> points
in the tournament.

3 drafting teams are positive in the point
performance from their picks this year. Team Trevino is + 35, Team
Noffke is +27 and Commissioner's picks are a + 7 total.
